Describe the process that takes place between the participantsin the neutralization reaction between the strong acid hydrochloricacid, HCl(aq), and water insoluble chromium(III)hydroxide, Cr(OH)₃(s), forming water andchromium(III) chloride, CrCl₃(aq). Mention thenature of the particles in the solution before and after thereaction.

(a) Because hydrochloric acid is  ---Select--- an acida base a binary covalent compound a binary ionic compound anoxyacid , it reacts with water to form  ---Select---hydrogen atoms hydronium ions hydroxide ions protonsand  ---Select--- chlorate ions chloride ions hydroniumions hydroxide ions .

Because it is  ---Select--- a weak acid a strong acid aweak base a strong base , the reaction is  ---Select--- achain reaction a completion reaction a reversible reaction asubstitution reaction leaving only  ---Select---hydronium ions hydroxide ions protons and  ---Select---chlorate ions chloride ions hydrochloric acid molecules watermolecules in solution.

(b) Because chromium(III) hydroxide is  ---Select--- astrong base an exception to the solubility rules insoluble in water, it  ---Select--- does not produce any ions produces asmall amount of hydroxide ions separates into chromium andhydroxide ions when exposed to water.

The reaction of chromium(III) hydroxide with wateris  ---Select--- absent a chain reaction a completionreaction a reversible reaction a substitution reaction .

(c) The instant the two solutions are mixed the solution containsthe following particles: (Select all that apply.)

(d) When the  ---Select--- chlorate ions chloride ionshydrochloric acid molecules hydronium ions water molecules collidewith the  ---Select--- chromium hydroxide moleculeschromium ions hydroxide ions water molecules , they react toform  ---Select--- chlorate ions chloride ions chromiumhydroxide molecules chromium ions hydronium ions hydroxide ionshydrochloric ions hydrochloric acid molecules water molecules.

This reaction prevents the  ---Select--- chloratechloride chromium hydronium hydroxide cations from returning to thesolid, resulting in the gradual  ---Select--- combustiondissolution eradication precipitation sublimation of thechromium(III) hydroxide solids.

If  ---Select--- a smaller amount of acid than base isequivalent amounts of acid and base are a greater amount of acidthan base is mixed together, the  ---Select--- chlorateions chloride ions hydrochloric acid molecules hydronium ions watermolecules and  ---Select--- chromium hydroxide moleculeschromium ions hydroxide ions water molecules will completelyneutralize each other.

(e) At the end of the reaction the solution contains the followingparticles: (Select all that apply.)
